Annuity Present & Future Value

Evaluates fixed periodic payments under Ordinary Annuity (payments at end of period) or Annuity Due (payments in advance).

Accumulated Future Value (FV)
$6,590.4
Includes $1,590.4 total compounding interest
Discounted Present Value (PV)
$3,680.04
Current lump-sum equivalent of 10 payments
Governing Actuarial Equations:
FV = PMT · [((1 + r)ⁿ - 1) / r] = $6590.4
PV = PMT · [(1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ) / r] = $3680.04

What is an Annuity in Finance?

An annuity is a series of equal payments made at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, or annually). An ordinary annuity pays at the end of each period, while an annuity due pays at the beginning.

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

FV_ord = PMT · [ ((1+r)ⁿ - 1) / r ], PV_ord = PMT · [ (1 - (1+r)⁻ⁿ) / r ]

Closed-form geometric series summation.

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1

Deposit $500 annually for 10 years at 6% interest

Solution: Ordinary Annuity FV = $6,590.40, PV = $3,680.04
• FV = 500 × [ (1.06¹⁰ - 1) / 0.06 ] = 500 × 13.1808 = $6,590.40

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is an Annuity Due worth more than an Ordinary Annuity?

Because each payment in an annuity due is made at the start of the period, earning an extra compounding period of interest: FV_due = FV_ord × (1 + r).
